"Studies van een haan en twee kippen" by Jules Laurens (1825-1901) is a detailed study of a rooster and two hens, rendered in graphite on paper. The work's realistic depiction of the birds’ plumage, form, and posture is characteristic of Laurens's animal studies, which combined his love for naturalism with a keen eye for detail. Created between 1865 and 1878, this drawing provides a glimpse into Laurens's artistic process, capturing the nuances of the avian subjects with precision and artistry.
